The 36-year-old real estate agent and former race car driver revealed on Instagram that he and fiancée Lauren Burnham, 26, had a cordial meeting with Kufrin. The footage, however, never made it on "The Bachelorette."

"Lauren and I flew to the Maldives at 'The Bachelor' and Becca’s request,'' he wrote on Monday. "It’s a conversation that unfortunately won’t be shown but it was really positive for all of us.

"You can imagine this trip could have been very difficult for Lauren but she has supported and stood by me in all of this...I thank and love her every day because of that. We wish Becca all the happiness in the world and can’t wait to see how tonight goes!"

Kufrin, 28, gave her final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen over fellow finalist Blake Horstmann to cap the 14th season of "The Bachelorette." Yrigoyen, a 29-year-old medical sales rep from Reno, Nevada, proposed to her during a trip to the Maldives.
